Alliston Potato Festival
August 8, 9, 10 2025!

The Alliston Potato Festival has been a family-focused event since 1973. Full of fun, history, and community! If you haven’t experienced it and the amazing organizations that help bring it to life, put it in your Calendar for 2025. It’s our Celebration Year and it is going to be the best festival yet!!

In 1972 Davis Willis planted the seed to host a festival celebrating community and the opportunity for all local organizations to work together.  Continuously supported by the Rotary and Alliston Lions from day 1, the motion sprouted and has evolved and continued to grow and become better year after year.

Over time, the festival has grown into a three-day bash at the Church Street Fairgrounds. There's something for everyone, and We mean everyone in your crew! From poker players to babies, dancers to singers, social butterflies to pet lovers, shoppers to foodies, we've got it covered.

The Fesitval Kicks off with one of the most recognized Summer Parades in the area and the best live entertainment on our TD Main Stage.  Following the parade happy observers make their way to the Festival Fairgrounds on Church Street to start the celebration of fun and entertainment.  

The Alliston Potato Festival has become a tradition in our community

If you are new to Town, or if you have not heard about the Alliston Potato Festival? IT’S A TRADITION HERE! What’s cool about it is that it’s not just your usual festival.

And guess what? We’re always spicing things up with new and innovative activities! It’s like the ultimate family fest that won’t break the bank. Children 12 and under are FREE!
